00:10 Well, here it is, October 2nd.
00:19 Got a month, baby.
00:21 >> Yes, we do.
00:22 >> In terms of the satin red that we got from Planet Color,
00:25 are you pretty pleased with it?
00:27 I mean, it looks like the Flexagent stuff.
00:29 It looks like it all worked out good, and the flat clear works.
00:32 >> Yeah, it works really nice.
00:34 As you can see, it's a nice finished product, and
00:37 it has that old school look that you guys are after.
00:41 And it's just a nice end to Tavis' vision.
00:45 >> I think it looks great.
00:46 I mean, I have to agree with Tavis.
00:48 It's like dead on the money in terms of what we accomplished.
00:52 I mean, let's talk about the masking.
00:55 How do you mask the- >> Mask.
00:57 Well, basically, we work from Tavis' illustration.
01:02 That's usually how we do things in the shop.
01:04 We have the artwork that we go by, and we try to go literal from the artwork.
01:08 We build what is on paper, cuz the direction is already set.
01:13 And then we do a layer mask, which is like a reverse vinyl mask.
01:20 Lay that on after the red base is sprayed.
01:23 Spray the white, peel the mask, spray the clear.
01:25 And it's pretty much as simple as that.
01:29 >> We basically looked at two colors.
01:30 There's kind of a deep red.
01:32 My goal was to get something as close to hot rod red as we could,
01:35 which is kind of like a PMS 485 or whatever.
01:37 But the spray out seemed to work, and wow, the spray out on the roof.
01:42 That's like bass boat sparkly.
01:44 I think even Tavis, we talked about it on the phone a couple times.
01:48 And he says, how sparkly do you want it?
01:49 And I'm like, bass boat.
01:51 I think you hit it on the head.
01:53 >> Absolutely, fun stuff.
01:54 The interior looks great, the seats look great.
01:57 What's your thoughts?
01:58 >> Everything is awesome.
01:59 Everything from the graphics to the seats.
02:03 It's exactly like the illustration, it's amazing.
02:05 We've got red leather inserts, we've got red stitching,
02:08 just like we had planned out a while ago.
02:10 We're gonna have our laptop station in the center there, so
02:13 the staffers can come in, upload photos, email them out.
02:16 Actually get some work done while you guys are on the road.
02:18 >> I don't know where the illuminator engine is, but I guess, what is that?
02:22 Three valve supercharged that the Ford guys are sending?
02:24 We gotta try to put it in the back.
02:26 >> We have some hurdles to overcome on getting it in there and
02:30 how we're gonna make it fit and not roll when you hit a stop.
02:37 >> I've got confidence in you.
02:39 You'll find some diamond plate and some big tie downs.
02:42 >> Yeah, we'll get it figured out.
02:44 >> All right, guys, well, get back to work, jeez.
